Understanding the Impact of the Foods We Eat

The New Season in my life…

The new season in my life happened in a split second with my husband’s sudden aortic aneurism in 2018. He miraculously survived, throwing us both into immediate and unplanned retirement.

  • It turned out it was the best thing that ever happened to us (after the shock wore off). We sold our home and moved to within a mile of my daughter, which, lucky for us, was also a mile’s walk to the beach. (Hence all my references to “navigating the waters”!)

  • It was mostly a happy time because my husband survived without complications, we were living near my daughter and by the beach, I didn’t have 3 hours of commuting every day, and well, it was nice.

Old approaches wouldn’t work….

But I knew for myself, as a life-long dieter, the usual diets and same-old same-old approaches would no longer work.

  • I no longer had a work schedule where my meals were on time and planned. I didn’t know on Sunday what I would eat on Friday. I had loads of candy and cookies in the house (because well, you know, grandchildren). My chef husband had nothing to do all day but grocery shop and cook, so my fridge, freezer and pantry were loaded with food I couldn’t finish in a month. My mother had just passed away at the age of 104, and I was left with that grief, and sorting through all her things.

  • BUT, I had to scramble and find a whole new strategy for eating and not gaining weight. I also had to continue with the weight loss journey I was already on. I had to do it without frenzy, craziness, or unsustainable diets.

How this course came about…

  • I started learning about finding sustainable eating styles - instead of a strict diet. I tried all the programs that dealt mostly with mindset, but offered no guidance with nutrition. What does it even mean to “eat what you love and love what you eat?” I needed some education to have an eating style be sustainable. Going with feelings, or weighing and measuring, or even the hunger scale like I teach you, wasn’t enough.

  • And so, that’s how Understanding the Impact of the Foods We Eat, came about. I learned about things that regular diets don’t teach you, like how no amount of exercise will get rid of belly fat, or how carbohydrates are hidden in practically all foods we eat, and what does this have to do with anything anyway? It became my mission to share that with other women who felt “broken” because they were doing everything they were supposed to be doing but still never lost weight.

The five modules in this course will teach you what you need to have a new respect and understanding for the food you eat. Once you incorporate some of what you will learn in this course, you will start to break free from the diet prison of always weighing and measuring your food because you will be free from the shackles of “slippery slope foods” - those containing large amounts of sugars and grains. As I have been promising you, you can lose weight without losing your mind. Learn to be good to yourself and find the results you have been dreaming of!
